Sexing Death Head roaches

[Peloquin]

Just bought 10 nymphs.
How do you tell the difference in sexes when they are nymphs?
Also, is there any difference in sexes as adults?

You can tell the difference by the last ventral abdominal segment, males have two smaller ones in about the same space where females have a single larger one. It's fairly noticable on adults but harder to see on nymphs, if you look at a bunch it becomes more obvious. This holds true on many species of roaches. I posted some pics a while back, if you search on sexing roaches you should find them as well as many others.

yes

Yes, just like the above post. The males have 2 smaller segments and the last is "V" shaped.

Any way to sex the nymphs? I noticed some nymphs are rounder than others, are these rounder ones more likely to be females?

Nice one. Cheers folks.

Look at this photo, you can use this with all the species of cockroaches:
